Brazilian football is full of geniuses, they have an innate talent for football, compared to European football that relies on a professional system to train players, this laissez-faire model of Brazilian football is more in line with the essence of football, and the games played are more pleasing to the eye. At the beginning of this century, there were 2 superstars in Brazilian football, they were called Big Luo and Xiao Luo, of which Xiao Luo's personal skills were more elegant, he was able to get the realm of human-ball unity, so he was also known as the football genie. However, in the development after retiring from the army, the more professional Da Luo's career was smooth, and Xiao Luo, who was more eager for freedom, quickly degenerated and once became a prisoner of the order.
Xiao Luo announced his retirement in 2018, exactly 4 years ago, but he is only 41 years old and is in the prime of a man's life. But when Xiao Luo attended the event, his hair and beard were already gray, and his face looked very bloated, looking like a 60-year-old man. It is hard to imagine that Xiao Luo, who has been elected world footballer twice, ages so quickly, while Ibrahimovic, who is about the same age as him, still fights in the top league and plays the role of Mr. Key many times, and midfield masters such as Guardiola and Zidane, who are many years older than him, still maintain excellent shape and look very good.
Some people may say that many foreigners are old, but it is not applicable to Xiao Luo, and the reason why he has come to this point is entirely because of his willing depravity. When he was young, Xiao Luo liked to hang out in nightclubs, and like many Brazilian players, he loved freedom by nature, liked to do things unrestrained, and in the face of the strict rules of professional teams, they felt very uncomfortable, and they would rather violate the rules than go out to have fun. When Xiao Luo played for Barcelona, he did not return home many times, and even if there was training on the morning of the second day, he would stay in the nightclub until 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning. When the outside world put forward criticism, Xiao Luo even publicly said that his energy is very strong, and his performance will be better if he vents before the game.
But for professional players, long-term life erosion, it is impossible to maintain the state, Xiao Luo was eventually swept out by Barca. Later joined Milan, Xiao Luo still did not change his lifestyle, he not only wantonly reveled, but also played with his Brazilian little brother Pato, it is difficult to say that the fall of this talented star has nothing to do with Xiao Luo. After returning to Brazilian football, Xiao Luo became a hero of the stars and the moon, he did not know how to be restrained, in just a few years, the state was exhausted, and finally had no choice but to retire. Due to the long and absurd life, the money accumulated by Xiao Luo's player days was basically squandered, and he could not make as much money as in the past, and he once declared bankruptcy.
In order to get as much money as possible, Xiao Luo began to participate in frequent business activities, and he could earn hundreds of thousands of yuan each time, but compared with his luxurious life, it was a drop in the bucket. In 2020, Xiao Luo was arrested by the Paraguayan police for passport problems and spent more than half a year in prison, changing from the former ball king to the "prison king", and he only took a few years. After being released from prison, Xiao Luo experienced a series of blows such as infection with the virus and the death of his mother, and seemed to have begun to pull back from the cliff, but years of indulgence had long since hollowed out his body, and even if the prodigal son turned back now, it would take a long time to recover. But in any case, it is definitely a good thing that Xiao Luo has changed, and he hopes to be able to persevere, strictly demand himself, and not follow in Maradona's footsteps.
